Chuck Batson wants 1 crew for SV Sparklemuffin, Cabo Rico 34, m.

From San Francisco Bay, United States to Vanuatu, Vanuatu.

April 2020 to April 2023.

Greetings! My name is Chuck and I'm planning an extended cruise of the South Pacific in search of warm & lush tropical islands! Seeking one enthusiastic crew member to join. Maybe you?? Let's get a conversation started! :) I'd like to depart "ASAP" but no sooner than myself and the boat are ready - which is looking like 2020 or 2021. Itinerary is flexible and not fully planned yet. It might look like heading south down the U.S. west coast, spend some time in Mexico / Sea of Cortez, then head west to Hawaii, French Polynesia, Fiji, Vanuatu, etc. Anticipated cruising duration is 1 to 3 years, maybe beyond! A little about myself. - Sailing the vicinity of San Francisco Bay since 2011. - Almost every (non-instructor) ASA certification. - Prudent and safety-conscious attitude / pride in seamanship. - Well-found vessel. - Vegetarian.

What roles/experience are needed (Crew 1): does not matter

Sailing with a Rally: Independent

I'm looking for (gender): either

Cabins/Sleeping : shared cabin-hot bunk

Smoking on board: non-smokers only

Total people on board: 2

Crew roles: The ideal crew member will be energetic, helpful, responsible, reliable, light-hearted, pleasant, positive, and enthusiastic about embarking on an extended cruising adventure. We will need to share the responsibilities of operating the vessel, including shifts, sail handling, lookout, food prep, etc. Ideally you're interested in and available for planning, preparation & practice (this means sailing!) before the journey. Prior sailing knowledge/experience is a welcome bonus, but not strictly required. You should, however, be confident you're ready for the rigors of ocean passage.

Money: expenses shared equally $TBD

Travel to and from boat: negotiable
